Made By A Fabricista: In Full Bloom For Spring

We’re in full bloom for Spring with my new fabricista feature for this month! I’m kicking off the season with one of my favorite Spring KnowMe patterns ME2027. This Fabric Mart viscose challis fabric is the perfect fabric for Spring and I love a floral on a black background. It’s giving me bold retro vibes and I'm definitely here for it.

When you think of Spring you think of florals, colors and lighter weighted fabrics. This fabric is giving it all. I love the bold large scale print flowers up against the black canvas. The fabric is viscose challis fabric so it has a natural soft drapey feel to it which makes it great for spring dresses, skirts, jumpers and blouses.

For this project I chose to create a version of my KnowMe Spring 2023 Jumpsuit pattern. It had the retro vibe to compliment this fabric and I love the way it turned out. I omitted the trims for this make and made it one solid fabric. This pattern has a zipper at the crotch and comes with buttons at the bodice. I switched out the buttons for hidden inside snaps. I like the clean look especially with this drapey fabric. I used a single snap for the belt only because I realized at the last minute I ran out of the eyelets to match the buckle hardware and didn’t have D-rings large enough for this belt either. So I improvised by making a snap belt. I was originally going to omit the belt but after trying it on I felt it needed something to cinch the waist. Those were the only modifications made to this pattern.

This is a pretty fun and easy jumpsuit to bring together. I feel like this pattern becomes a little more beginner friendly when you omit the trim. I love it both ways but when I'm looking to shave off some time and make the pattern a little simpler I do leave off the contrasting trims. It is such a versatile pattern that it looks great either way.

I styled the piece with white accessories because I love the contrast. This is one of those patterns that look great dressed up or down. I chose to pair this look with a pair of chic white leather mules and a springy white bag. This look is fun, bold, bright, comfortable and chic. It is singing spring and I love it!

Until Next Time!❤️
